A READING FROM THE GOSPEL OF JESUS ACCORDING TO JOHN (FIRST READER ONLY)

John was standing with two of his disciples/

And, as he watched Jesus walk by/

He said, "Behold the Lamb of God."/

The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus./

Jesus turned and saw them following him./

He said to them, "What are you looking for?"/

They said, "Rabbi, where are you staying?"/

He said, "Come and see."/

So they went and saw where Jesus was staying,/

And they staying with him that day./
